New A Million Ways To Die In The West Red Band Trailer – Liam Neeson has shadow sex with Seth MacFarlane

May 7, 2014 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

When Seth MacFarlane called his new movie A Million Ways To Die In The West, this trailer suggests he wasn’t joking. Indeed on this evidence it’s difficult to see how anyone survived more than a few minutes back then.

It’s also just a juvenile and silly as you’d expect from the creator of Family Guy (and we don’t mean juvenile in a pejorative sense).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Seth MacFarlane directs, produces, co-writes and plays the role of the cowardly sheep farmer Albert in A Million Ways to Die in the West. After Albert backs out of a gunfight, his fickle girlfriend leaves him for another man. When a mysterious and beautiful woman rides into town, she helps him find his courage and they begin to fall in love. But when her husband, a notorious outlaw, arrives seeking revenge,the farmer must put his newfound courage to the test.

‘Starring alongside MacFarlane are Oscar® winner Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Amanda Seyfried, Giovanni Ribisi, Sarah Silverman and Neil Patrick Harris. MacFarlane reunites many of the filmmakers behind Universal and MRC’s hit film Ted including Scott Stuber (Bluegrass Films) and Jason Clark who produce, and Wellesley Wild and Alec Sulkin who co-wrote the script.’

The films due out on May 30th. [Read more…]

In the last 20 years, westerns have always been a hit and miss for Hollywood and they’ve had particular problems with comedy westerns. However Universal will be hoping that Seth MacFarlane can overcome that with A Million Ways To Die In The West. After all, many thought an R-rated comedy about a talking teddy sounded like a disaster until Ted became a massive hit.

Now a new poster has arrived, showing us MacFarlane alongside Liam Neeson and Charlize Theron.

The film’s due out on May 30th.

Yesterday we posted an octet of character posters for Seth MacFarlane’s A Million Ways To Die In The West, and now comes the red band trailer, which suggests this will be just as anarchic and rude as you’d expect from the creator of Family Guy. However it might be a lot more violent that you might have thought.

Many thought Ted sounded like a premise that was never going to work, but the R-rated talking teddy movie became a major hit. It’s the same with Seth MacFarlane’s follow-up, as A Million Ways To Die In The West, which doesn’t sound like a big grosser on paper, but could surprise us on its summer 2014.

Now a set of character posters have arrived, featuring MacFarlane, Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried, Giovanni Ribisi, Neil Patrick Harris, Sarah Silverman and Liam Neeson.

The movie is about a cowardly sheep farmer (MacFarlane) backs out of a gunfight, his fickle girlfriend (Seyfried) leaves him for another man (Patrick Harris). When a mysterious and beautiful woman (Theron) rides into town, she helps him find his courage and they begin to fall in love. But when her husband, a notorious outlaw (Neeson), arrives seeking revenge, the farmer must put his newfound courage to the test.

sarah-silverman Seth MacFarlane is busy putting together the cast of his comedy western with A Million Ways to Die in the West, with MacFarlane set to star alongside Amanda Seyfried, Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, and Giovanni Ribisi. Now THR reports that Sarah Silverman is in negotiations to play a prostitute in the movie.

The film is about a timid farmer (Seth MacFarlane) whose girlfriend (Amanda Seyfried) leaves him for another man after he runs away from a gunfight. In the hope of winning her back, he enlists the help of the wife of a notorious outlaw’s wife (Charlize Theron), to teach him to become a better gunman. However, his skills are severely tested when the woman’s angry husband (Liam Neeson) comes riding into town.

Sarah Silverman will be involved in a subplot as the town’s prostitute, who ironically won’t have sex with her fiancée (Giovanni Ribisi), because she wants to wait until they are married.

Seth MacFarlane is set to direct from a screenplay he wrote alongside Ted co-writers Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. Shooting will start later this spring.

Liam Neeson & Giovanni Ribisi Find A Million Ways To Die For Seth MacFarlane

March 7, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After the success of Ted, it’s little suprise that actors are queueing up for Seth MacFarlane’s follow-up, A Million Ways To Die. Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried, and MacFarlane himself are already set to star, and now THR reports that Liam Neeson has signed up, with Deadline adding that Ted star Giovanni Ribisi will also be part of the film.

A Million Ways To Die In The West is a comedy western about a mild-mannered farmer called Albert (MacFarlane) who chickens out when a gunfight erupts on his property. Annoyed at his singular lack of spine, his girlfriend (Seyfried) ditches him.

In the hope of winning her back, he makes a deal with the wife (Theron) of a notorious outlaw (Neeson), to teach him how to handle a gun and be a bit more of a badass. However, as he starts getting closer to the sharp-shooting woman, trouble erupts when her vicious husband reappears. Ribisi will play Albert’s friend Edward, described as “a simple shoe repairman who bears up with a girlfriend who won’t have sex with him, but as a working prostitute she’s doing it with everybody else.” He’s involved in a side plot where Albert tries to get Edward into the dating scene.

MacFarlane co-wrote the script with Ted cohorts Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild, with the movie being described as being similar in tone to Blazing Saddles. The plan is to start shooting in May.

THR reports that he’s starting to piece the cast together, with Charlize Theron now in negotiations to star alongside Seth himself in the movie.

The ‘Blazing Saddles-style comedy’ is about a meek farmer whose girlfriend leaves him after he backs out of a gunfight. He meets the wife of a notorious outlaw who offers to teach him how to shoot. However what first seems to be a chance to win back his girlfriend turns into something else when he falls for the women. Things inevitably get complicated when the outlaw returns to reclaim his woman.

The plan is start shooting the film in May.
